The news is really trying to sensationalize it but yes, it's by and large very peaceful. Also for some reason, line dancing.

I like some of your posts, no need to feel discouraged.

Usefulness is probably not the right word, though-- haha.

Honestly their algorithm seems to mostly push low quality, South Asian, and/or AI generated content lately, when randomly playing off of something like Ms Rachel or Sesame Street. Nothing disgusting, although maybe a little trippy (in AI case). My daughter really digs the Bollywood inspired kids stuff though.

I've been using Launchbox, especially since I play emulator games. They've improved the efficiency of large libraries and added support for RetroAchievements, although I manually toggle completion status since I don't always use it to launch my games so the time tracker isn't accurate.

More importantly it let's me hit randomize, so if I'm feeling adventurous it'll pull a game from my backlog I might have got from anywhere.

Funny you think I could afford to get my pets ashes back from the vet.

I've been sayin', it's a pretty rad state motto out of context.

Basically the "reality TV" of Internet forums. Should come as no surprise, even human made stories are usually fake.

See, this explains Full Metal Alchemists premise; the brothers were Vibe Arcaning their dead mother.

Imma be real with y'all, at this point I'd welcome that as it's less likely to be an auto generated AI message.

Yes, of course it's normal. It's not necessarily the writing; sometimes it's the music or cinematography that'll get you. For me it's often a strong vocal, as a minimum I'll get goosebumps.

It's also important to let others know you're turning with a turn signal approx. 420 bibles away from an intersection.

I think it's impossible to fully know, though if we're talking direct influence, no, I don't think so. My ideology mostly comes from education, and my education mostly comes from my family influence- that is, I ended up getting a PhD and as they say "reality has a liberal bias" (although studying critical theory certainly helps).

That said, I've played MMOs since I was 15 and even met my partner of 13 years on one, so like... who the fuck knows where I'd be if there was no Internet, lol. Probably a lot more productive, though.

Free to play players can at least restart their account until they get at least one 5* Queen, but even then it's hard to beat the whales.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape, the mom is the only human.

Jokes on Om Nom, Rule 34 exists.

Yeah I know it by the latter but didn't try to type it out on this phone, lol

I personally prefer yyyy-mm-dd, as the Japanese do, which also puts month before day. I think it's because they tend to prioritize history, so that makes sense. Year gives a historical context, month gives the season, while day is kind of arbitrary when talking about historical events. Day will matter most if I'm making short term plans, though, so I certainly see the appeal for day to day life.

Depending on what you're doing, one will matter more. Precision matters more the more fine tuned the situation.

Think of it like hours vs minutes vs seconds. If I'm just thinking vaguely about the time of day, hour gives me most of the context. If I'm meeting someone or baking cookies, minutes matter a lot more but seconds is a bit too specific. If I'm defusing a bomb? Seconds matter.

A year ago is certainly a while back, although RA has such active forums I'm not surprised people aren't really using Lemmy for it, haha. I would have posted about my GCN summer last year, haha.

I keep Java installed for one thing and one thing only... modded Minecraft.

Given I've got Pokemon themed decorative towels, the blood really adds a certain feel to it.
